White Peony Tea Leaves

The pack has stalks and leaves in varying shades of green —mostly dark green and grey green. The dry leaves have a delicate, floral aroma with a hint of sweetness. In addition, the aroma has a characteristic of freshness like a very subtle grassy scent.

The steeped leaves, on the other hand, have a more grassy aroma.

Organic White Peony (Bai MuDan) Tea

We brewed two grams of Organic White Peony tea leaves for seven minutes and we got a cup of bright, golden yellow tea. Its aroma is a bit grassy with some floral hints.

We did a second steeping and surprisingly, we liked it better than the first. Although the second steeping gave us a much lighter flavor, there was minimal aftertaste, which we appreciated.

Final Thoughts

The aroma and flavor of Teavivre's Organic White Peony (Bai MuDan) tea are very relaxing. If you're winding down for the day, this tea could really set the mood.

Is this tea for you? Light-flavored tea isn't for everyone. And white tea's most notable characteristic is its mellow flavor. This is a great everyday nighttime tea if you like mellow-flavored teas or if you're looking to add a lighter-flavored tea in your growing tea collection.
